How to Start in Console Mode

[Dave_Bechtel]

--I'm assuming you are hd-installed... When the LILO prompt comes up, you type ' linux 1 ' (or whatever the name for your default boot image is) to pass the runlevel.

I'm trying to install Nvidia 4363 Driver. You have to go to
Console mode to install.
I tied inittab - setting runlevel to 1, had to use rescue disk
to get knoppix to load again. Aklso tried runlevel 3 - but it just
booted XFree86.
Any help appreciated!

Thanks...
